How should the fetus, pre-term & newborn babies grow?

How should we understand the abnormal patterns of growth? Professors Stephen Kennedy and José Villar discuss the objectives, design and emerging findings from the INTERGROWTH-21st Project in a webinar at the Harvard School of Public Health.

Global Perinatal Health Research

Our research brings together world experts to resolve priority maternal and perinatal health problems on a global scale. This includes implementing new fetal and newborn growth standards; providing tools for the continuity of care from conception to 5 years of age; evaluating neurodevelopment in different cultural settings and understanding the immunological status of HIV-infected pregnant women.

Endorsement for our MSc in Clinical Embryology

"We have been very impressed with the students we have employed from the Oxford MSc in Clinical Embryology. They have progressed very quickly in our clinical laboratory. The training program in Oxford is obviously very good and we would be very willing to consider future graduates for our on-going embryology research training internship programme". (Dr. Nina Desai, Director, Cleveland Clinic Fertility Centre, Ohio, USA.)

“See your Baby” project wins Aspen Ideas Award

The “Ona-Matoto-Lako” project (“see your baby” in Swahili) will take lifesaving antenatal care to pregnant women in remote parts of low & middle income countries, where women can see their baby free of charge using a mobile ultrasonagraphy bus. This “see your baby” visit will be used as an opportunity to tackle the leading causes of maternal & new born deaths. Congratulations to Chrystelle Opope Oyaka Wedi​ who won funds to pilot the project in the DRC.
